I use Ubuntu studio to record professionally with Ardour. My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. My usual qjackctl settings are 96k sample rate, 1024 frames/period, and 3 periods/buffer.

I saw in the release notes that I should "discontinue use of qjackctl." I attempted to use ubuntu studio controls to set up a session. The session seemed to initialize correctly, but when I got into the session, the 5th and 6th channels were experiencing what sounds like an X-Run. I could not determine the frequency with which this was happening, but it seemed to be a regular or semi-regular intervals.

I went back to qjackctl and the issue did not persist. Could someone from the Studio team please help problem solve this?

Also, I use Ubuntu studio with my recording business. I do not code, but would like to be able to contribute somehow. Is there a financial way to contribute to Ubuntu Studio? I love studio and would like to see it's development continue.
Thanks! -Josh

If qjackctl was working for you before, go ahead and use it. The settings you use in qjackctl should easily transfer to Ubuntu Studio Controls, so I find it peculiar that it's not working well. Disabling the PulseAudio bridge might help reduce your Xruns as it requires a higher buffer.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to troubleshoot this easily via this forum, so I encourage you to join one of our chat support methods (and stay connected until someone can respond, be very patient) linked at https://ubuntustudio.org/support.
